Death Crimson 2: Altar of Melanito English translation
デスクリムゾン2 -メラニートの祭壇- · Death Crimson 2: Meranito no Saidan
Derek Pascarella's complete English patch for the Dreamcast light-gun game Death Crimson 2, with the story mode, graphics and cutscene videos translated and unlockable content opened up.
What's translated
All dialogue, menus and messages are in English, shown with a new font. The textures were translated too, with misspelled English place names on signs corrected to match Death Crimson OX, and every cutscene video is subtitled. Save file information on the VMU is in English as well.
What's new
- New code adds VMU icon support, and a bug that hid one line of dialogue is fixed.
- The title screen was redrawn, and all unlockable Mission Mode stages are open from the start.
- A new cheat function was added.
- The built-in web browser, which needed ISP settings to reach, was replaced with bonus content.
Playing it
The patch is applied to your own disc image of the Japanese game: one version for GDI or CUE images (with Universal Dreamcast Patcher) and one for burning to CD-R. The project page explains both, along with controls, light gun compatibility and the save system.
